What’s that, Princess? You say, you’re meeting with some of the
girls, and want to be absolutely certain that you’re Prize Femme?
Well, come to Mother Beauty, and I‘ll see what I can do to help
your feminine fantasies fruitful.
Dear Miss Dee:
What are the hot new winter shades?
You will want to try the luxurious, shimmery, sophisticated and
exotic colors, such as those inspired by a peacock's feather. Although
these colors are too rich for Summer and Spring, they’re absolutely
perfect for Winter.
Dear Miss Dee:
How do I select the best shade of foundation for me?
Obviously, you’ll want your face to match the skin tone of your body. So,
test the color on your jawline. However, if you’re timid about applying
makeup to your face, publicly, then use the back of your hand.
Dear Miss Dee:
How can I make my manicure last longer?
Use a top coat, darling, over your favorite nail color. A top coat also
provides a more professional look, such as you’d receive at a salon.
Dear Miss Dee:
How can I bring out the natural color in my eyes?
To enhance your eyes, use shades that match the peaks and highlights. Or,
if you wear contacts, try wearing a color that brightens your eyes. They
are distinctively feminine and attractive.
Dear Miss Dee:
Help! My lashes are very sensitive and fall out easily when I use an
eyelash curler. How can I protect them while keeping the curl?
Eyelash curlers can not only be painful, darling, but they can
also be damaging if you don't use them correctly. For dramatically
curled lashes, without using an eyelash curler, try L'Oréal's new
Le Grand Curl mascara. And never ever retire before removing
your mascara.
Dear Miss Dee:
I am very active, but I also like my nails to look good. What do
you suggest?
For you girls on the go, try quick dry nail enamels.
Dear Miss Dee:
I like to wear eye shadow, but I don't like it to look too obvious.
For a sophisticated look try shimmery, translucent shades that
accent and highlight the eye area, yet are not overbearing. Try
lighter colors.
Dear Miss Dee:
How can I prevent my skin from looking oily?
To minimize greasiness, use a foundation or powder that's less
moisturizing, or one that’s formulated specifically for oily skin.
Dear Miss Dee:
I hate when my lipstick feathers and bleeds outside my lip line.
How can I prevent this?
To prevent lipstick from running, line the edge of your lips with
a liner, either clear or a color that coordinates with your lipstick.
Dear Miss Dee:
I use different foundations for Summer and Winter, but I don't
want to throw away a half-full bottle the next season. Does
foundation expire?
Most liquid foundations are good for up to two years. However,
some will separate after a while leaving shade pigments un-mixed
with the foundation formula. Unlike nail polish, shaking the bottle
will not re-mix them To ensure even coverage, I’d recommend
renewing after a year.
Well, girls, I have my own parties and social events to attend.
And, naturally, I want to look my best. So, stop by again in a
few weeks. However, if you have a pressing problem that needs
immediate attention, feel free to write to me at Dianic007@aol.com.
